Unusual questions

[BradB]

I have two questions that may not appeal to most of you, but perhaps someone else is interested.

(1) Are there any other fish house owners on the lake who run? I plan to continue my running regiment during the ice season, and it would be cool if there were other runners out there who might want to hook up and do some running out on the lake.

(2) Does anyone know of a a retired minister who might hold Catholic masses in his house on the lake? Though I'm not Catholic, I do have a number of frequent guests who have asked me about this and I have been wondering about it.

Brad I have never run on the lake but have run the roads plenty around the lake I'd be game for a run together but I have to tell yea I don't do more than 9 minute miles. As far as services being held on the ice I have never heard of any. I do know there is a catholic church in Wakon. I myself have always wondered if there was ever an on ice AA meeting thought that might be cool (no pun intended) for those of us who have already exceeded our lifetime alcohol quota.

Maybe if you started running on your own, on a regular basis, in the same area, maybe other runners would see this and want to join in?

Forenoon to early afternoon would be a good time as it is usually the warmest part of the day and the slowest part as ice fishing goes..the in between stretch can get pretty slow!

Opps, I missed posting something on the second question... why would'nt someone go to mass first if it was that important to them, to the point where they would want to do it in a fish house on a lake?

Does'nt the Catholic church have early and late masses?

Also, if it is a real big issue with the troops that visit your fish house, why not find a catholic church in the vacinity of the lake and attend it?

Waterwolf,

I don't sprint either, so that speed wouldn't be a problem. I don't run competitively, just for health reasons.

I haven't run in the winter for 20 years, but am going to do it this year. I usually go way out on the gravel and I don't really want to come into shore to run, and then go back out. I might look stupid running up and down Kevin McQuoid's roads, but what the hell.

Grebe,

As for the question regarding mass, I think the answer my guests would give would be "it would be neat!". They do go to mass other days, and at other times, but mass on the lake would be a pretty cool thing.

Oh...

Catholic priests are spread so thin. Many priests are taking care of 2-3 parishes.

Understood. I was just wondering if there was a retired priest who likes ice fishing. Perhaps they don't retire all that often?
